Internet gaming and videoconferencing through DMZ

Hosting. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports for one

computer at the same time, which differs from Port Range

Forwarding, which can only forward a maximum of 10

ranges of ports.

Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.

High priority/Medium priority/Low priority

application, select High priority (traffic on this queue

shares 60% of total bandwidth), Medium priority (traffic on

this queue shares 18% of total bandwidth), or Low priority

(traffic on this queue shares 1% of total bandwidth).
